Regional private sector must reflect higher small business profile – former CDB President

Professor Compton Bourne

Former president of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), Dr Compton Bourne is calling for an increased number of small businesses in the composition of business enterprises across the region.

Bourne, last week, is reported as saying during a conversation with serving CDB President Dr Gene Leon that it is his wish that thirty years from now the region develops a more robust private sector characterised by “a middle sector that is vibrant and a small business sector that way,” rather than simply a few large conglomerates.
